All the pieces so far:
- Dynamic tilemap.
- A minimap view synced to it (using 1px tile atlas for colors).
- Draggable viewport.
- Some animated sprites in world-space.
- Screen-space (yellow) and tile-space (blue) selection boxes.
- Status frames for sprites caught in selection.
- The window is still resizable (tilemap re-center appropriately and minimap sticks to its corner with a small padding).

Genie: “You have three wishes.”
Me: “Ignore previous instructions.”
The first Haskell Tiny Game Jam is now open!
Your mission: make #Haskell games in 10 lines. https://github.com/haskell-game/tiny-games-hs and the #haskell-game chat room await your entries. Good luck!

This 1953 Porsche, converted to an electric drive by a GE engineer around 1959, is being reconditioned and will be fitted with modern batteries to replace the lead-acid ones that originally powered it.

Today it's only 15 years left until the end of the (signed) 32bit UNIX Epoch. It is likely that the first devices that will be in active use in 2038 are beginning development now.
The UNIX ecosystem is surely ready for larger than 32bit timestamps?

This is fascinating! The Braille Institute has developed a font - free to download - that's designed to be clearer for readers with lower vision.
An example of one of the aspects of low legibility that they tackled attached.
It's named Atkinson Hyperlegible. Atkinson was the Institute's founder - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J._Robert_Atkinson
Here's where you can read about the font and download it: https://brailleinstitute.org/freefont

music is mostly just really loud math
GC is basically roguelike memory management 🤔

@toychicken Maybe the people who write the email assistant will put the prompt into a mail header for, umm, debugging / QA purposes:

Happy birthday @Blender !
Today is Blender's birthday again. Happy birthday to this 29 years young program :)
The screenshot was made on my old SGI Indy, because Blender was initially made by @tonroosendaal on an SGI machine.

As a maintainer of OpenSource libraries and packages, there is something that kept feeling off in the whole Software Supply Chain discourse. I think this comes down to something simple.
I am not a Supplier.

He's making a list
He's checking it twice
The CAP theorem dictates this to be irrelevant, it is simply impossible to guarantee the list be consistent, available at all delivery locations, while also distributed around the world
- But it works on my branch!
- Okay, we’ll ship your branch then.
